As I understand it there is an Orion Township committee studying the single hauler issue.
If Orion Township does in fact go that way there is an important stipulation that should be in the contract with the new hauler.
I live in the northwest corner of the township and we have several private roads with multiple homes on them; some being a city block long.
Odd Job always backed down our roads to pick up trash, but we found out that not every hauler would do that; they wanted us to bring our trash to the distant main road. That is problematic if you are elderly, have health issues or do not have a truck.
We eventually discovered Republic, which gives us the same service as Odd Job used too.
So again: “No reduction in current service” must be in the new contract if single hauler becomes a mandate.
